1 month of prac on lotus only LOL

was it furia's coach that said they don't believe in util?

its so embarrassing

Round 10, s0m 1vs 2

that could also be it LOL

first boaster and now fns. IGLs are leveling up

Does khalil play right handed model? it looks like he just didn't see him at all. His reaction time is not that slow, surely right?

dudes on a heater!!!

OPTC CRASHIES IS SO BACK

if boaster can, fns can right???

Boaster shooting too, mid round looks nice

During the offseason, zekken did it to troll but during the actual season, honestly might be legit

"its zellsis, he's nervous" like in a ranked game or on a map that is a stomp then okay, but like first map and first pistol. Let the dude focus, and I promise the comms get worse as the video goes on

comms, when comparing it to other teams like sen, its night and day. Everyone comms too much and overcooks

NGL don't get them, especially the move from foxy9 to suggest

If I remember correctly, zellsis and sacy handled most of the mid-rounding and johnqt was more of the final say. Along with stuff like start of round setups, early set strats are what john did the most of. (Based on what I heard tenz talk about)

just keeping with tradition I guess

Its just like why float it then? If cube plays the same comp, sen have more than enough prac on it. I'm just confused honestly

I mean I see he fried on iso but thats about it

In theory, they had an extra month of prac and johnqt came back to US late. And its not like sen played new comps. I'm genuinely surprised that sen pull this off, I didn't even have them winning in my pickems

thats not a guarantee, bc everyone apparently plays worse when they join 100T LOL

why did I take the time to read this? LOL

he hasn't shown to be able to play another duelist outside of jett and with how strong yoru is rn, would you take the time for something to learn yoru or throw forsaken on it (who understands the agent)? I'll take the later

true

NGL not that disappointed in the loss. For a team that no one rated after kickoff to going 3 maps against a top 2 pacific team, honestly not bad.

• Fan of forsaken full time duelist, him and jingg were always the ones who dictated the pace so I think it works
• Jinggg looked solid on the flex role, his util was iffy at times but that just comes with playing more and understanding more "on the fly" decision making
• something is really the only question mark for me
• davai with an off series but we all know his benchmark and the same thing with mindfreak

Their next 4 games are doable so I don't think hope is lost

Its crazy how he went from best champs mvp to this. His confidence is non-existent

its crazy how he just can't play omen. Just put him on astra. IK its only 3 maps on omen, but its not it

And why the viper, when icebox is and will always be a jett map?

welp I jinxed it LUL

okay who would've thought that LOUD's ct side is this bad?

This one and on haven, the timing is so bad. I'm so confused

hear me out..... inspire

when will I learn to not doubt loud

should've just picked up full senti player?

On pickems, everyone go oppo of what I pick LUL

I remember people were saying he wasn't broken when released. Pro play is unbearable to watch at this point

that would be my nrg change too

Someone changed my mind recently, where your "worst" fragger has to be on init/flex. If your worst fragger is a senti player, I don't think you can win especially with how hard exec this game is now. Your worst fraggers have to be "with the pack" players with a strong lurker to make it work. I think this is supported by all the teams who won

sen: johnqt (senti) - zellsis/sacy (flex and init)
geng: meteor (senti) - lakia (flex and init)
EDG: chichoo (senti) - simon (flex and init)
T1: meteor (senti) - stax (flex and init)

tenz evolved with valorant, fns is just forcing "csgo"

He thrived when the game was essentially cs with extra util, now its true valorant. Arguable on which one is better, cs/valo style, but he doesn't fit

The game isn't played like CS anymore, hard mid-rounding just isn't as important as it used to be. I think being adaptable and creative in the beginning stages of a round matter more, which is something that FNS has shown he can't do. It's at a point where is calling doesn't outweigh his gunplay as it used too.

C9 vs NRG: 30/70 NRG (As long as FNS can shoot back alittle, this game should be "easy")

Well..... umm never believing in FNS again

Across all regions who are some of the best up and coming players?

Its more of 100T having a full extra month of prep/scrims and johnqt was in bangkok for the showmatch so sen probably only had about 2-3 weeks of practice. How much can they really change in that time? I think its just safer to bet on 100T

Its hard to imagine NRG being as bad as they were in kickoff and idk how much c9 can truly improve so I lean NRG

I think you're underrating loud alittle bit, its definitely closer

C9 vs NRG: 30/70 NRG (As long as FNS can shoot back alittle, this game should be "easy")
KRU vs Loud: 50/50 KRU
G2 vs FUR: 99/1 G2 (Hard to imagine a world where FUR win with the loss of mw)
MIBR vs LEV: 50/50 MIBR (Don't know who verno/rossy are incorporated into the team)
2G vs EG: 10/90 EG (Hard to imagine 2G improving much from KO especially with a recent roster move)
SEN vs 100T: 40/60 100T (Alot more prep time going into this game)

Once you stop playing, you'll realize that your life gets better

The type of teammate trexx is, isn't really openly discussed, but crashies has been known as a player with great comms and mid-round ideas. Which in the case of FNC has obviously helped boaster alot, and its showcased in his gunplay. If trexx can't replace crashies/leo in the midround, then I'm sticking with crashies

Looks like hes taking a break for the first split

Should be on a Tier 1 roster no?

Oh they were supposed to be two separate questions, didn't want to make 2 threads LUL

its beyond ridiculous, when hes arguably one of the best ini ITW
